Healthcare Ecosystems




A1. Impact on Standards

TRICARE is the government payer program for uniformed service members, retirees,

and their families. The Military Health System (MHS) is the group of physicians that care for

and treat TRICARE members. As of 2014, MHS served 9.6 million Americans. TRICARE

covers all members worldwide. This government payer program is managed by the Defense

Health Agency, under the leadership of the Assistant Secretary of Defense. TRICARE provides

coverage for medical, dental, vision, and more. When a physician wants to become a TRICARE

provider, he or she must take certain measures to do so. The practitioner must hold a current,

valid license in the state in which they tend to practice. There must not be any restrictions on

their license, and stands must have been met. Practitioners must also have a Certified

Membership in The National or Professional Association.

A2a. Clinical Quality Reporting Systems

As of October 2019, the Clinical Quality Management (CQM) of the MHS took over the

quality reporting for TRICARE. This team assesses the quality of healthcare given to member,

and patient safety. There are six programs that CQM use to report accurate data and record.

Patient Safety, which includes infection prevention in hospital care settings, Healthcare Risk

Management, Credentialing and Privileging, Accreditation and Compliance, Clinical

Measurement, and Clinical Quality Improvement. The CQM provides structure and framework

to MHS to measure and improve the quality of care. CQM provides indefatigable commitment to

beneficiaries, joint healthcare, and Combatant Commands all over the world.




A2b. Reimbursement for Healthcare Services

With TRICARE, there are several different reimbursements for each procedure or

treatment. Looking at Long Term Care Hospital (LTCH) and Inpatient Rehabilitation

reimbursements, recently these charges are not reimbursed through the Center for Medicare and

Medicaid (CMS). For LTCH, which include the Veteran Affairs hospitals, the charges must be

submitted for reimbursement within one day from patient discharge. There are special

reimbursements for those patients who are in an intensive care unit, or who require artificial

ventilation. TRICARE uses Medicare Quality Reporting payment adjustments for LTCH of

TRICARE. Since the QR are shared, TRICARE does not establish its own reporting system.

TRICARE is currently in year 2 of a transition period of which the amount that TRICARE pays,

or reimburses, is going down. Year 2 is from October 1, 2019 to September 30,2020. This year
